Whats the purpose of the badges/cards? I see that I can sell them but why would anyone want to play for them?

Badges are like Playstation's Trophies or Microsoft's Achievements. Some of them (actually most of them) are earned by playing games and doing different tasks (again, like Trophies/Achievements) but others can be earned with those cards.

Some games give you cards and once you have the full set of cards, you can forge a badge. The same is true with the cards of this Summer Sale, once you get the 10 cards you will be able to forge the "Steam Summer Adventure 2014" badge. Of course, with each of those badges, you get Steam points that make you go up in the rank.

That's why people pay for those cards, to get badges to get a higher rank.
